I am super excited to be getting back on parent council. When I was the Chair in Ignace, I totally loved it. Now I have the opportunity to be part of a high school parent council. And, I can do it for six years. That's how long I will have a child in that high school. (Providing we don't move - to another location or to our eternal home).
Being a part of a group energies me. I am looking forward to meeting new people, getting answers to the "why" questions, sharing my ideas, and networking. I love the fact that I can be a part of it for so long.
On another note, I got to cuddle 5 pound twins today!! A boy and a girl. Oh my goodness were they ever sweet!! Neither of my children were ever that small outside the womb. Cailyn was 10 lbs 14.5 oz and 23 inches long. Kaden was 9 lbs 2 oz and 21 inches long. I thought he was small.
As much as I don't want to have any more children, when I see babies there is a part of me that wishes I could do it over. There are things I would do differently. Most importantly, I would like to prove to myself that had we been living in the right conditions, I could have been a great mom when the kids were little. I wish I could have saved them from some of the things they went through.
I only have one regret from my whole life. My regret is not leaving the marriage sooner. If I would have left after Kaden was born, things could have turned out differently, and the kids wouldn't have experienced so many unhealthy situations.
Nonetheless, I look forward. All I can do is learn from the past and be the best mom I can be now.
P.S. I went to see War Room tonight. Excellent movie! If you have the opportunity, my suggestion is to go see it :)
